Workshops

Moira (Mo), Corina (Co) and Fernando (Fer) will teach in various combinations, depending on the topic. Moira/Corina, Fernando solo; Fernando/Corina, Moira sola; Moira/Fernando, Corina sola.
Some workshops will be for couples (C –couples), some for single persons (S). Singles could be leaders (L) or followers (F). Of course couples can book the workshops same for leaders and followers. The booking for the C-Workshops is only open for couples.

The levels are Intermediate (I), Advanced (A), and high level (AA).

For Intermediate you should know the basics like ochos and simple turns. It is possible for you to keep the axis in most situations.

Advanced dancers have a good balance and technique in both close and open embrace. You have been dancing regularly for several years and are able to lose yourself while dancing.

High level dancers are able to understand and practice difficult sequences.

We recommend for each workshop the specific level.

Quality is our top priority. Therefore we reserve the right to limitate the number of participants, depending on the topic of the workshop. This is a difference to other festivals, where 20 couples or more are participating the classes.

All workshops take 1,5 hours and are held in the Tangohotel Grauer Bär
